If your knees always seem to hurt more on the way down than the way up, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why downhill hiking is often the real challenge for hikers, what eccentric strength actually is, and how a few simple training tweaks can dramatically reduce knee pain, soreness, and fatigue on the trail. You'll learn the exact exercises I use with my clients to build stronger, more resilient legs so you can enjoy every mile, both up and down.Mountain Metabolic Coaching [Application Link] — Fat loss, body recomposition, nutrition, hormones, performance, all with full 1:1 coach support.
